Books A Newly Deconverted Should Read

Just a suggestion, I'd hold off on The God Delusion by Dawkins for a while.  It can be a difficult read for a new deconvert.  It was for me, at least.  Dawkins eviscerates religious philosophy and you may end up becoming a tad defensive about your old superstitious beliefs.  Save it for later.  Here are a few suggestions:

 

1) Why I Believed by Kenneth Daniels, a former longtime evangelical missionary.  It's a kinder gentler God Delusion written explicitly for Christians.

 

2) Cosmos by Carl Sagan.  A "spiritual" book about reality and a modern day epic poem.

 

3) Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne.  The best general introduction to evolutionary theory on the market, IMO.  Also a pretty good atheist blog.
